Chapter 380 - 278: A Handsome Man Breaks His Back, a Beauty Smiles

Chapter 380: Chapter 278: A Handsome Man Breaks His Back, a Beauty Smiles

Qi Force surged.

The White Tiger was locked in place by three Fifth-Grade experts, forced to halt its retreat.

A cold smile remained on Tang Wen’s face as a faint golden-red glow spread across his limbs and torso.

Even his hands and head turned golden.

The three on the other side saw this and knew it was some kind of Defensive Hard Technique.

Clearly, this Young Master Tang was scared!

Lin Zhiheng watched the panicked Tang Wen, a flicker of glee rising in his heart. ’Ganshan City’s number one young master? So what! In the face of absolute power, a title like that is utterly useless!’

The other male Fifth-Grade expert also scoffed internally. ’He’s just a mere Extraordinary. What’s the use of activating a Defense Technique?’

’So what if his combat power is comparable to a Sixth Grade?’

’Can his Defense Technique possibly withstand even a casual strike from a mighty Fifth-Grade expert like me?’

The three of them didn’t take Tang Wen seriously.

Their gazes were locked onto the Fifth-Grade White Tiger beneath Tang Wen.

Judging by their stance, they seemed ready to launch a thunderous strike at any moment.

Tang Wen took in their subtle expressions, and he was more than happy to see their condescension.

Hidden nearby were two other Peak Fifth-Grade White Tigers.

The Power of Defense of his Golden Jade Demon Body had been tested by Hu Qi many times.

The conclusion was that it was comparable to the Peak of Sixth Grade, and could withstand an attack from an Initial-Stage Fifth Grade expert.

The terrifying defense of his Golden Jade Demon Body, combined with his Expert Level Instant Step, was the foundation of Tang Wen’s confidence in taking this risk.

He was certain they could not kill him.

He already had a Memory Pearl clutched in his hand.

Killing three Fifth-Grade experts was no small matter.

He had to seize the moral high ground.

They wanted to kill him, and he would kill them in return.

Then no matter how furious the Huang Family became, they would have no one to blame.

In an instant, the Spiritual Power of the four Fifth-Grade combatants materialized, clashing in a deadlock.

Across the vast wilderness, fine sand and gravel danced in the air, as if a great army was thundering toward them from the distance.

A bird happened to fly overhead. POP! Its eyes burst into a bloody mist.

It plummeted to the ground.

Tang Wen’s breath caught in his throat.

The air grew thick and heavy, making it difficult to breathe.

SWOOSH!

The battle intent on both sides intensified to its absolute peak.

A battle seemed imminent.

The woman on the other side smiled sweetly and said in a clear voice, "As expected of Ganshan City’s number one young master. Young Master Tang, you truly have great courage. To face three Fifth-Grade experts and be at a disadvantage, yet show no fear at all."

Her words shattered the tense atmosphere.

Hmm?

Tang Wen frowned, wondering what this woman was up to.

He wasn’t the only one confused; the two men opposite her were also baffled.

The woman strode forward, making a gesture with her hands behind her back.

The two men’s brows unfurrowed. They exchanged a glance, reined in their auras, and began to awkwardly scan their surroundings.

Lin Zhiheng even brazenly took out several Memory Pearls, aiming one at Tang Wen and the others at their surroundings.

The woman smiled at Tang Wen and said, "You are right, Young Master. The two behind you are indeed subordinates of my Huang Family. Since they were blind enough to offend you, whether you wish to kill or torture them is entirely up to you!"

Tang Wen realized what was happening. ’Did they guess I have reinforcements hidden?’

He didn’t reply, considering whether he should press the attack and kill all three.

’Although my Memory Pearl didn’t capture footage of them initiating the attack...’

’...the footage of our tense, aura-filled standoff should still count for something.’

’Still, the Huang Family’s number of Fifth-Grade experts is finite.’

’One died before; if three more die today...’

’...even with their numerous masters, the Huang Family would surely feel the pain and go berserk.’

’At that point, the conflict between me and the Huang Family would escalate to a point of no return!’

’The Black Water Gang is tied to me; they couldn’t stay out of it.’

’And what about the Giant Rock Martial Arts Hall?’

’They might side with me for their own benefit, but what about the other factions?’

’And how far would the White Tiger Tribe be willing to help?’

Tang Wen’s eyes glinted, and he tested her with a cold voice, "A simple ’blind enough to offend’ and you think you can just brush this aside?! Heh. How about I pay a visit to your family, kill your clansmen, and then tell you I just took a wrong turn? How would you like that?"

The woman’s smile was radiant. She tugged lightly at her lapel, revealing a swath of pale skin at her chest. "If you are willing to come to my home, Young Master, it would be an honor for my daughters, my daughters-in-law, and my granddaughters."

Tang Wen: "..."

’Did I hear that right?’

’She said daughters-in-law?’

Pah!

’How depraved!’

The woman’s fiery, bold gaze raked over Tang Wen’s body, frequently lingering on his more... sensitive areas.

This demeanor... It had to be Huang Jia Ren.

A name surfaced in Tang Wen’s mind. "You’re the Huang Family’s Fifth-Grade expert, Huang Jia Ren?"

"The Young Master knows of me?" The woman tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, feigning surprise.

"I’ve heard of you. Who hasn’t heard the famous name of Huang Jia Ren?"

"When the beauty smiles, handsome men bend their waists."

This saying was about the very Huang Jia Ren who stood before him.

She had earned this formidable reputation in her youth.

It’s worth noting that the phrase is an inversion. The original order was, "Handsome men have their backs broken, and the beauty smiles!"

More importantly, "having their backs broken" was not a figure of speech, nor was it a metaphor.

They were, quite literally, played with by Huang Jia Ren until their backs snapped.

And it wasn’t just one man whose back was broken, nor was it ten. It was hundreds, even thousands.

Only a man’s broken back could make Huang Jia Ren smile.

This was the young Huang Jia Ren. Upon her debut, she immediately eclipsed several of the most notorious vixens of the time, such as the Black Widow and the Cyan Snake Lady.

Tang Wen also knew that this woman had borne seven children of her own, and had even brought home the children her lovers had with other women to raise as her own.

Rumor had it that certain... ’incidents’ had also occurred involving these children.

In short, it was utterly messed up.

Thinking about all this, and seeing the woman now giving him flirtatious looks, Tang Wen felt not a single ripple of excitement. In fact, he felt a little disgusted.

If anything, it strengthened his killing intent.

Hu Qi sensed the shift in his aura and suddenly sent a voice transmission: "I just received a message. There seems to be another expert backing these three."
